CPVETS (Central PA Vet ER Treatment), PA

Description of Elective Experience

The student will be working in a 24/7 emergency clinic. We handle small companion animals including dogs, cats, pocket pets, avian and reptile patients. We are up to date and fully equipped to handle a wide variety of emergency and critical care cases.

 

Institutional and Educational Resources - staffing, equipment, etc.

Access to 4+  experienced emergency veterinarians. Clinic books, videos, PowerPoint presentations and other reference material available.

Student Responsibilities - what is expected of students in terms of hours, days of the week, shadowing or actual support?

The student's experience will involve observing, as well as assisting in exams, procedures and coming up with treatment plans for a variety of cases. While we can never predict caseload accurately, a typical night shift sees 5-7 cases and on weekend day shifts that will increase to an average of 10-20 cases.
